How can counselling help me?

Sometimes we get stuck in patterns of behaviour which we learned at an early age, and then continue to repeat throughout our lives. If these patterns are unhelpful or destructive they can interfere with all of our relationships, personal and professional. Counselling can help us make sense of confusing emotions or damaging behaviours, and allow us the opportunity to change them.

Sexuality

Helping people who are struggling with their sexuality feel more comfortable in themselves and the way others view them. Helping you have a fulfilling intimate relationship.

Using concrete techniques to develop a more positive view of yourself as a sexual being.

Looking at how personal experiences and cultural factors may have influenced your ability to form and enjoy intimate relationships.

Crisis management & suicidal support

Supporting you through a particularly traumatic period or helping you to avert a potential crisis.

Formulating a plan with psychological, social and practical support.

For some people, suicidal thoughts are a way of coping with their current situation with little intention of following through. For others, it is a likely option or something they have tried in the past.

Helping you address the emotions and issues that are causing suicidal thoughts whilst working on practical strategies to protect your personal wellbeing.

Supporting you to consider your choices whilst respecting the limitations of therapy and the right of personal choice.
